The plant in question is in my garden and my neighbour would lik one for her garden but I cannot remember what it is called.

The leaves are smooth almost velvety and the height is probably no more than 15cm. Can anyone help identfy it?

    You can safely just cut some out and give it to her

    it's called "snow in summer" also known as Cerastium, Mouse Ear, Chickweed, and Silver Carpet.

    And that one at the bottom of the top pic looks like lychnis.....?
